With this DVD, you will get an up-close and personal look at the lives of bees – some of nature’s most fascinating (and often misunderstood) insects. You’ll also discover why the bee’s survival is so critical to our own. And you’ll realize that anyone (even you) can have a hive that thrives. All you need to do is follow Randy Sue’s excellent, easy-to-understand advice.

I am excited to report that the “Organic Beekeeping 101” class is scheduled and ready for sign ups!

In this class you will learn how to raise bees naturally, in a stress-free environment. I will cover Why Keep Bees? Where to Keep Bees? How to get Bees? and How to Take Care of Bees? once you have them.

Also where to get your equipment, the costs, how much time’s involved, and how to put it all together.

To sign up for the class, please click on the link below! Hope to see you there!

Also I’m proud to announce that the new DVD, “Organic Beekeeping 101 with Randy Sue” will be available before Christmas. This beautifully filmed program covers everything you need to know to keep bees the natural way.

I have been keeping honeybees in Kenwood, California since May 2008 where I started with one hive. I have now built it up to four – so far. I love my honeybees (as well as all living things) but I especially wanted to do something to help preserve and protect the bees I have brought home to be under my care.

“Randy Sue’s Bee Haven” started with a desire to create a garden where the “girls” could forage all year long. After visiting several gardens and sanctuaries, like the Melissa Garden in Sebastopol, http://www.themelissagarden.com/index.html, I decided to create a sanctuary for my bees. I’m now in the process of making a pollinator’s garden consisting of bee-friendly flowers, fruits and vegetables.

March 25, 2009 ~ Day 1 ~ I mowed yesterday, so now Mark, and his employee, Jesus, will begin soil prep.

March 25, 2009 ~ Day 1 – Jesus is adding the calcium to the soil. It’s crushed oyster shells from the Bay Area that were barged into Petaluma for processing. Mark determined the soil was calcium deficient so he balanced it out to promote microbial growth which promotes healthy, thriving plants.

March 25, 2009 ~ Day 1 – Mark has begun to dig the trench to bring water to the garden.

My vision is to provide the healthiest environment for the survival of the bee.

I am creating this honeybee sanctuary to eventually be able to share with the public bee-education tours and classes along with honey tastings and other bee related activities.

To Protect and Preserve the Honeybee!

I believe Nature flourishes when there is minimum or no interference from human beings.

I have purchased biodynamically grown plants for the garden and I planted many that have great medicinal qualities and those that the bees love.

These plants cost a little more more, but they are worth the extra expense because they have been raised in complete harmony with Nature.

I care for my bees in the most natural way I can, which includes offering them round hives.

Your generous donations will be used to continue my life's journey in protecting and preserving the honeybee as well as all of nature's living things.

And for these donations, I am forever grateful.
Thank you!

Adopt a Drone Bee – $20.00

The male honey bees are called drones. They don't do any work in the hive and have no stinger. Their job is to mate with virgin queens. It is thought that the drone represents the "sense" organ of the colony. With their big eyes and antenna, they receive the the stimulus for the safety and well being of the colony.

Adopt a Worker Bee – $50.00

Worker honey bees are all female and live only 6 to 8 weeks. They do all the work. Only worker bees sting, and only if they feel threatened. They die once they sting. Honey bees communicate with one another by "dancing". Honey bees fly at 15 miles per hour.

Adopt a Queen Bee – $100.00

The queen bee is the largest bee in the hive. She lives for about 2-3 years. The Queen is the busiest in the summer months, when the hive needs to be at its maximum strength, and she can lay up to 2000 eggs per day. She is constantly fed and groomed by her "court", the attendant worker bees.

Any amount will go toward realizing the dream of saving the honeybees – Thank you!

Instead of asking the bees, "What can I get out of you?" I ask, "What can I do for you?"
